When you are at the top of the ride, you will get some incredible, never-before-seen views of The Boardwalk and other coasters at Hersheypark. The ride will be open for all four seasons, so it’s a great option for families visiting during seasonal events held at Hersheypark, as well.

The Jolly Rancher Remix is a reimagined boomerang coaster.

The lights flash a specific color and music plays that indicates the flavor ride that riders are about to take. The ride will then send riders forward and back on the same flavorful track complete with lights, music and scents. This ride does go upside down, and you actually invert six times in 90 seconds and blast through a new Jolly Rancher flavor tunnel. Each ride is different with five randomized flavor rides like Watermelon or Green Apple.

These rides only exist at Hersheypark and they will be opening for the public on Sat., May 28.
